As the only other planet (aside from Earth) that's still tectonically active, which planet is contracting?
Answer Mercury
4.5 billion years after the solar system came into being, Mercury continues to contract. Scientists discovered this when the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft found fault scarps (landforms like cliffs) that are fairly small, meaning they weren't formed long ago.
